How does this actually work. What's the time commitment? 
After you sign-up, we'll send your match(es) on May 9th. On May 10th, at 6pm, you and your match will call and connect for as long as you want.

What if I can’t make the 6pm PST call time?
We’re a super small team. In the future we hope to accommodate all types of needs — like different event times — but for now, given our capacity, we need to just have one time.

What type of loss qualifies to participate?
Maybe you're unsure if you can participate because your situation isn't so black and white. Maybe you're missing your grandma, or aunt on this day. Perhaps you've never met the person you've lost due to time, space, or miscarriage. We can't list all the reasons you might feel unsure if you can participate. The bottom line is, if this project resonates with you, you are welcome here. We'd love to connect you with someone.

How do you make the matches?
We'd like to think of it as a numbers game with a lot of heart. We read through every form to look for any special requests and then divide and match people by what they've shared.

When will I get my match email? Sign ups close on May 8th. Matches will be sent on May 9th.

What information gets sent to my match? We'll send your first name, email, and phone number.

How do I know when my match email is sent? We'll send you an SMS when your match email goes out. We won't over-text you — promise! — we just want to make sure you get your match information!

How did this get started? A few years ago, 3 weeks before Mother's Day, Morgan Brown realized that just as much as she wanted to tell her mom "Happy Mother's Day" there were probably just as many mothers wanting to hear it. And that's how this project was born. Learn more over on the about page.

I want to participate, but I don't want to share my loss story — should I still sign up? Absolutely! Think of this as a chance to connect with someone who knows what it's like to lose someone. Sharing details around that loss isn't required to participate.

What are some special requests? Requests vary. Some people request to match with people who have similar loss stories, while others want to connect with people in similar career fields or with similar interests. Meeting all requests isn't possible, but we try our best!

Are you doing A Different Kind of Father's Day? Hopefully! Stay tuned in 2019.
